Though they look impressive, both the 3D trellis chess board and all the pieces are very easy to make with a simple pair of scissors. No special tools or paper craft experience required -- but the best part of this design is that you can fold up the board with all the chess pieces in place. Put it away, and finish your game later!
The board is 11" x 11" x 1.25" and the pieces are between 2" and 3" high. Template can be downloaded from www.makepopupcards.com
